Tanana is the last hold before sending teams to the Finish line. Racers are held so we can schedule a daylight finish for race fans in Fairbanks and across the planet with KTUU’s Live Stream of the Iron Dog.

Many factors come into play when determining this restart interval including split time separations, number of competitors and getting the winners to the finish line in time for the TV broadcast.

Our goal is to have the 1st place (fastest) team to the Finish around 1:00 P.M. Saturday.

      by being faster than the competition. Go Dusty and Marc!!!

    Some one answer how the 17 is an hour ahead of the 23 team, explain

    • http://www.facebook.com/digitrick Rick Smith

      they are one hour ahead in total course time
      so the release is one hour later

      23 had a mechanical after going by Kokrine Hills.

  • akhunter

    Could it be because they are an hour and fourinutes ahead ot them! Look at in times to Tanana and it kind of explains it!

    • earthpig

      was it bad weather? what was the reason for that much time gained on all the other teams? there is a 20mph difference between 17 and the other teams.

    Where is the rest of the teams release times?

  • bigfun

    checking team 23′s time between Ruby and Tanana, they must’ve had a problem. The other top teams were running that leg about an hour faster than 23.

      They had a mechanical problem after going by Kokrine Hills

      • http://www.facebook.com/carole.huntington.9 Carole Huntington

        They were about 11-12 minutes apart when they went by us yesterday.

        • big fun

          Thanks Carole, for the report.

          Looks like 23 are on the clock wrenching now. I hope they can fix it.

    …..that comment in response to “earthpig” ‘s question at the bottom.

  • DEW

    team #37 is Bo Phillips and Nate Whitted

  • http://www.facebook.com/katiekatzndawgs Katie Furtheloveofanimals

    I am wondering why team #3 is saying Wayne Wold and Doug Dixon? When team #3 is Wilkes and Wold? Any Ideas on whats going on….or is it just a typo

    • big fun

      Wayne and Doug have partnered before.

      Somebody made a mistake.

    This whole timing thing is confusing. Seems to me the first team across the finish line is the winner.

    • Ashley

      Because they don’t/can’t all start at the same time. You cannot have 40 teams of two people taking off all at once. They stagger start them. So one team may leave the start an hour after the first team. That is why it is by time and not who crosses first.

      • http://www.facebook.com/marolyn.cantrell Marolyn Cantrell

        Thanks. That does make since. Can you tell me how it is determined who starts first from the start.
